MILWAUKEE — Craig Counsell is still Public Enemy No. 1 in Milwaukee.
During introductions before Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday, and again before Game 2 on Monday night, fans at American Family Field showered the 55-year-old Cubs manager with boos.
Among those enjoying the jeering of Counsell, a former Brewers players and their all-time winningest manager over nine seasons from 2015 to 2023, was Brewers fan Jay Ryan, who recalled a report from earlier this year that Yankees owner George Steinbrenner had repeatedly offered late Brewers play-by-play announcer Bob Uecker a large sum of money to leave Milwaukee for New York.
